摘要： Optical transmitters are disclosed, one example of which includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser that includes a substrate upon which a lower mirror is disposed. In this example, a spacer is disposed between the lower mirror and an active region. Another spacer separates the active region and an upper mirror. The upper mirror includes an oxide insulating region that is damaged by ion implantation so that desirable effects are achieved with respect to lateral sheet resistance, and quantum well recombination centers in the active region.

摘要： Methods of conducting wafer level burn-in (WLBI) of semiconductor devices are presented wherein systems are provided having at least two electrodes (210, 215). Electrical bias (920) and/or thermal power (925) is applied on each side of a wafer (100) having back and front electrical contacts for semiconductor devices borne by the wafer. A pliable conductive layer (910) is described for supplying pins on the device side of a wafer with electrical contact and/or also for providing protection to the wafer from mechanical pressure being applied to its surfaces. Use of a cooling system (950) is also described for enabling the application of a uniform temperature to a wafer undergoing burn-in. Wafer level burn-in is performed by applying electrical and physical contact (915) using an upper contact plate to individual contacts for the semiconductor devices; applying electrical and physical contact using a lower contact plate (910) to a substrate surface of said semiconductor wafer; providing electrical power (920) to said semiconductor devices through said upper and lower second contact plates from a power source coupled to said upper and lower contacts plates; monitoring and controlling electrical power (935) to said semiconductor devices for a period in accordance with a specified burn-in criteria; removing electrical power at completion of said period (955); and removing electrical and physical contact to said semiconductor wafer (965).

摘要： Simplified laser drivers for closed path digital optical cables and digital optical cables including the simplified laser drivers. The laser driver can include less transistors than conventional laser drivers for optical communication cables. The laser can include a bias source and modulation source. The bias source can have a single constant current bias point for all laser diodes. The modulation current source can have a single temperature coefficient for all laser diodes. The laser driver can exclude, for example, any one of or combination of temperature compensation of the modulation or bias current sources, external programming of the modulation or bias current sources, power control based on output of the laser diode, and/or control based on feedback received from a monitor device or other sensor within the cables.
